I would like to know what kind of 2m/70cm antenna this group would recommend for a sailboat exposed to salt water. I know that a regular marine antenna comes close in frequency for the 2m band, but the 70cm throws a wrench in it.

I don't know about the other guys, but I use a NMO2/70BK mounted on an angle bracket at the very top of the mast. The marine VHF is about 3 foot lower, directly under the dual bander. Both are fed with RG8X.
